- Roots trace to the COMEX Gold Pit in 1982 and lessons learned working for Paul Tudor Jones on risk control.
- Built with one priority: protect from severe losses while delivering quality participation in rising markets.
- Ranked #1 of 398 strategies in Morningstar's Tactical Allocation category for risk-adjusted return over 5 years (through 12/31/2025).
- Max drawdown of just -7.6% since inception over 10+ years, trading within 5% of its all-time high 97.5% of the time.
- A rare long-only strategy focused purely on short-term mean reversion that actually welcomes bear markets, up +4.2% in the 2022 pullback.

-
- An underlying program traded since 1994, previously available only through a private fund.
- Built by Jerry Parker, one of the best-known names in systematic trend following.
- Designed to seek low or even negative correlation to passive equity exposure.
- Trend follows equities, fixed income, commodities, and currencies globally across hundreds of contracts.
- Goes long or short, with potential to profit in both rising and falling markets.
- Delivered in an ETF: daily liquidity, full transparency, quantitative signals over forecasts.
-
- What if you could add diversifying alternative strategies without reducing your stock and bond allocations?
- Diversification is easy in theory. Funding it is the hard part, forcing many investors to choose between core exposures and portfolio diversifiers.
- Learn why the biggest obstacle to diversification isn't portfolio construction—it's investor behavior.
- Explore the institutional "portable alpha" approach used by pensions and endowments for decades, now available in an ETF structure.
- Designed to help investors maintain core market exposure while gaining access to additional sources of return.
- Walk away with practical portfolio implementation ideas that can be applied immediately, not just theory.
-
- Risk so low that Morningstar benchmarks it to a Moderate Conservative Total Return Index.
- Comparable risk to a 30/70 or 40/60 bond/equity portfolio, with equity-like returns.
- Since taking over HDCTX, has outperformed that index by 150%, same risk, far higher returns.
- Annualizing close to 9% since 12/2019, never closing a month down more than 6%, through Covid, tariffs, and war.
- Outperformed JEPI, JPM Hedged, and nearly all covered call ETFs over the last 3 years.
- One of very few funds that is simultaneously long equities and long an embedded volatility hedge.
- If you expect ongoing volatility, this is where you want to be.

-
- Access curated private market investment opportunities.
- Opportunities across private equity, private credit, venture capital, and real estate in tax-aware structures and co-investments.
